Notes on this filing
  • A0/A1: Institution is Hiram College, private nonprofit, coeducational, Hiram, OH.
  • C1: Applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the men, women and unknown columns (4133, 4029, 249); the filing's residency breakdown matches these totals.
  • C2: Waitlist policy is No and all waitlist counts are blank, so waitlist values are null.
  • C21/C22: Early decision is answered No. Early action is neither checked Yes nor No (N/A), with AD_EAD=N; treated as not offered.
  • C8A vs C9: C8A says SAT/ACT are not used in admission, yet C9 reports SAT and ACT score submitters and percentiles. Test-optional policy is inferred from C8A; C8F is blank.
  • C9: ACT composite 50th percentile prints as 20 in the rendered table but the form field value is 19.5; 20 is used here.
  • C9: SAT composite 75th percentile (1055) does not equal the ERW 75th plus math 75th (525+545=1070); reported as printed.
  • B22: Retention printed as 67 in the box; computed as 141/211 = 66.8, which is the field value used here.
  • B4-B21: Fall 2019 cohort used (bachelor's). The 4-year completion count is 101 of 227 (not printed as a rate), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate of 55.5 is printed.
  • G1: First-year column used for tuition ($31,800); undergraduate column is $29,750. Private school, so in-state/out-of-state are null.
  • H2: First-time full-time first-year column used. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is null because the filing prints counts only and the rule allows only the fully-met percentage to be computed (21/178 = 11.8).
  • H2 line J average package ($24,648) includes all aid, not need-based aid only; mapped to avg_need_based_package as the closest available item. Line K ($5,917) is the average need-based scholarship/grant.
  • H1: Aid data are for 2024-25 final, not 2025-26 estimated.
  • I-3 page header reads 'Common Data Set 2024-2025' while the rest of the filing is 2025-2026; minor inconsistency.
